line there Fine Well why would the author make a

00:46

biblical reference and then talk about students of history Is

00:49

he implying the bible's historical fact Well actually the paragraph

00:53

has very little to do with religion It's overall just

01:34

summarized a lot of people's good ideas and gave seminars

01:37

kind of a biblical tony robbins Because ethical laws emerged
